Plans Submitted For New Telford Sixth Form Centre
Plans have been put forward to develop a new sixth form centre at Telford College.
In 2023, Telford & Wrekin Council successfully secured government funding to deliver its 'Broadening Aspirations through Culture and Education' programme.
This includes the renovation of former Addenbrooke House Council offices in Station Quarter to create a new sixth form for Telford College.
Station Quarter is located in the heart of Telford Town Centre and is being transformed to provide a state-of-the-art digital skills and enterprise hub called ‘The Quad’ as well as new town centre apartments, townhouses and retail spaces.
The Quad will provide education provision led by Telford College and Harper Adams University as well as business start-up space.
The new sixth form will be adjacent to Telford Central train station, the bus station and The Quad - creating a new education ‘campus’ in the heart of the town walking distance from both the train and bus station.
The development, which is expected to be completed in December 2025, will provide creative learning opportunities accessible to all and ensure the skills to meet the needs of Telford’s ever growing business community.
Telford College currently delivers further and higher education courses from its main site in Wellington, alongside its comprehensive range of technical courses five miles from the Town Centre.
The relocation of the A-Level provision to the Station Quarter will enable Telford College to broaden its already expanding A-Level centre, supporting more students to study locally.
It is part of a major expansion for the college which will also see a £1.8 million-plus investment in the Wellington campus to transform it into a high-level technical and vocational centre of excellence working with higher education institutions.
The work is part of Telford & Wrekin Council’s ‘20 pledges in 20 weeks’ campaign which will see the local authority deliver 20 actions on the things that matter most to local people during the first 20 weeks following Cllr Lee’s Carter’s appointment as Leader on 18 July.
